Figure 3. This golden retriever exhibited nonspecific lethargy and gastrointestinal signs after a new (human) baby joined the household. He was 2 years old at the time of diagnosis and is thriving 8 years later. He receives 1.3 mg/kg of DOCP q30d and 0.03 mg/kg prednisone/day. Dogs with hypoadrenocorticism typically have a great quality of life as long as the clients are diligent about maintaining an appropriate medication and monitoring schedule.
